Mothers and fathers each completed an online survey that measured parenting, co-parenting, and youth resilience during the pandemic. Data were analyzed using the actor–partner interdependence model. Results revealed a positive relationship between mother supportiveness and perceived youth resilience; in contrast, increased father supportiveness was associated with lower perceived youth resilience. For both mothers and fathers, increases in their own hostility were associated with decreased perceived youth resilience and more positive co-parenting predicted greater resilience. Overall, findings showed that maternal supportiveness, parent hostility, and co-parenting were significantly related to youth resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study highlights the role of maternal supportiveness in youth resilience and the importance of including mother and father perspectives when examining the effects of parenting.

Culturally relevant coping (CRC) strategies—salient, contextually appropriate resources for Black Americans to deal with living in a racially hostile society—may directly promote relationship adjustment and relational resilience even in the face of racial stressors such as discriminatory encounters. John Henryism (JH; a high-effort coping strategy); and shift-and-persist coping (S&P coping; shifting focus and persisting for the future); are two notable CRC strategies but their relevance for Black couples' relationship functioning is unknown. Using cross-sectional, self-report data from 140 mixed-gender Black couples, we investigated the links between CRC strategies and relationship functioning (partner support; relationship conflict) within an actor-partner interdependence modeling framework; further, we examined the moderating role of racial discrimination in these linkages. Results showed that JH and S&P coping were both related to better relationship functioning for men and women. Unexpectedly, women's discrimination experiences were related to men's reports of lower partner support. Notably, S&P coping was related to less relationship conflict among women reporting less discrimination but not those reporting more discrimination, indicating that S&P coping's conflict-reducing effects may be diminished in the context of discrimination. Together, findings highlight the valuable role of CRC strategies in promoting relationship functioning for Black couples and the need to examine culturally informed coping in the context of racial stressors.</p>","PeriodicalId":51396,"journal":{"name":"Family Process","volume":"64 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/famp.70027","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143749505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Non-violent family conflict precipitates and exacerbates their depressive symptoms. This pilot randomized trial tested the preliminary effectiveness of a family therapy intervention, Resilience Enhancement Skills Training (REST), compared to the standard of care in home-visited mothers with moderate to severe depressive symptoms and moderate to high conflict with family members. A total of 83 mothers and their family members (<i>N</i> = 166) were randomized to receive REST or the standard of care. Both interventions were delivered by clinicians using HIPAA-compliant video conferencing technology. Outcomes were assessed by research assistants, blinded to study group assignment, at post-intervention, 3, and 6 months later. Linear mixed-effects models were used to analyze changes in continuous outcomes in mothers and family members, separately. Mixed-effects logistic regression was used to analyze changes in maternal job attainment/school enrollment. Participants in both study groups showed improvements in outcomes. When compared to standard-of-care participants, REST participants had significantly greater reductions in family conflict (mothers ES = −1.19, family members ES = −0.77), maternal depressive symptoms (ES = −0.96) and co-occurring anxiety symptoms (ES = −0.59), and greater increases in family cohesion (mothers ES = 0.99, family members ES = 0.94) and maternal job attainment/school enrollment (ES = 0.70).

To date, little information exists on the contextual and familial dynamics of female sex workers and their children. Yet, this information is critical for providing effective, evidence-informed interventions. This is a life-course developmental examination of female sex workers and their children residing in an urban brothel district in India, framed in ecological systems theory. From mothers, we were particularly interested in developmental trajectories that led to commercial sex work, intergenerational family dynamics, microsystems of mothers and their children (residence patterns), and concerns for child wellbeing given environmental dangers of the red-light areas. Inquiries with children were aimed at understanding the family microsystem—dynamics and residence, other influential microsystems (peer and school), as well as the larger red-light district neighborhood (exosystem) and future aspirations. Most mothers had been trafficked into the sex industry. Because of their work, few remained in contact with families of origin. Mothers' concerns included generating income, getting children educated, and returning children to hostels. Prior to the pandemic, most child participants lived in hostels rather than the red-light area and described it as dirty and unsafe. Children described types of social support given and received by mothers and prioritized education. Continued policy and research that explore innovative measures for limiting social disparities in educational attainment for vulnerable children (e.g., mobile school programs) are recommended.</p>","PeriodicalId":51396,"journal":{"name":"Family Process","volume":"64 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/famp.70034","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143741345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Considering the significant impact of negative interactions on couple relationships, both in terms of satisfaction and the mental and physical health of individuals, the aim was to provide a reliable and precise tool for measuring these behaviors in a specific cultural context, such as that of young and adult individuals in Peru. A non-probabilistic convenience sampling design was used, involving 313 participants, predominantly women, and a majority identifying as heterosexual. The average age was around 26 years, encompassing various types of couple relationships. The Negative Interaction Scale (NIS-5) and the Peruvian version of the Relationship Assessment Scale (RAS) were employed for data collection, using Bayesian statistical tools for analysis, particularly Bayesian confirmatory factor analysis (BCFA), offering advantages in flexibility, precision, and the evaluation of the proposed unidimensional structure. The NIS-5 demonstrated a unidimensional structure with excellent fit indices, moderate to strong factor loadings, and good internal consistency, supported by an omega reliability coefficient of 0.836. These results validate the unifactorial structure of the NIS-5, reflecting that negative interaction can be globally and uniquely interpreted within the study context. The study confirms the validity and reliability of the NIS-5 as an instrument for measuring negative interaction in couple relationships in Peru. It highlights the importance of considering negative interaction to improve relationship quality and suggests the implementation of programs or theoretical models to promote healthier relationships.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51396,"journal":{"name":"Family Process","volume":"64 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143675058","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In preparation for the conference, we interviewed Dr. Karl Tomm, founder and senior advisor of the Calgary Family Therapy Centre and a professor of Psychiatry at the Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary. In this article, we present Karl's interview, where he explains the notion of disquiet as a relational response to unwanted differences about hopes or desires emerging in our interactions with one another.

This study aimed to identify the significant events and analyze therapeutic processes through a joint analysis of significant events from the client's perspective. Fourteen multiple-family groups were evaluated (122 adolescents and 107 parents in total) through focus groups at the end of the treatment. Using thematic analysis, we identified six types of significant events, the phase of treatment in which they occurred, the clients' involvement during the identified events, the modality of the intervention in which the events occurred, and their impact. The results confirm enactment, conflict dramatization, emotional expression, and catharsis as the main events in multiple-family groups. The participants reported significant events, particularly during the middle and final phases of the treatment, notably moments related to enactment and role-playing situations. Moreover, adolescents identified significant events both in group moments without their parents and in group situations with their parents.

Therefore, studies on the contributing factors of parents' homework involvement quality are warranted. Notably, environmental, parental, and child-related factors may put parents under pressure that impairs parents' homework involvement quality. Yet, extant literature lacks an examination of this issue holistically, especially in non-Western societies. The current research addressed this gap by investigating how Chinese mothers' perceived stress in life, child-based worth, and children's general helplessness toward homework, which created pressures on mothers, uniquely contributed to mothers' daily homework involvement quality. Chinese mothers (<i>N</i> = 261, mean age = 40.90 years, SD = 2.65) of fourth graders reported on these pressures via survey and their daily constructive (i.e., positive emotions, autonomy support, and mastery-oriented teaching) and unconstructive homework involvement (i.e., negative emotions, control, and performance-oriented teaching) for 14 consecutive days after the completion of the survey. Results from multilevel modeling indicated that mothers' perceived stress negatively predicted their constructive involvement, while mothers' child-based worth and children's helplessness toward homework positively predicted their unconstructive involvement over the daily diaries. The findings highlight the importance of understanding daily family processes holistically by considering environmental, parental, and child factors, and extending knowledge about the contributing factors of parents' homework involvement quality in real-life settings. Practitioners and educators are encouraged to alleviate multiple pressures parents may experience to make parents' homework involvement constructive to child development.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51396,"journal":{"name":"Family Process","volume":"64 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143638831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
